Very nice, Sonny.  Great tones in subdued lighting.

Kyle's Digilux was probably from 1998.

My first digicam came as a reward for a magazine renewal.  After I bought a 
Fuji F10, I passed it on to my son, and it later went to my granddaughter. 
After three users, it succumbed to a fall.  But the Fuji lives on, giving 
great results.
